6:34 pm
triple digits livermore, san skwroes a upping the average high, 82, i know what you want to know. tomorrow's highs. because it will be a hotter day tomorrow than what we experienced today. all of the way back up to 80 along the coast, 90s peninsula, 98 degrees morgan hill. east bay will climb all of the way up to 100 degrees in the hottest locations, recollect wise, north of the bay, talking 98 in santa rosa. we will pinpoint the neighborhood forecast. that is coming up later in the program. >> thanks. well, a new poll shows that californians are reluctant to abolish the death penalty. the los angeles times poll shows 38% of voters favor getting rid of it and 51% want to keep t. however, that gap narrows when voters are told the ballot issue will require convicted killers to work in prison and give their earnings to victim's families.
6:35 pm
we have more on the challenge facing both sides to make their point. >> right now, death row inmates sit in private cells, watching tv, talking to their lawyers, prop 34 putting an end to that and puts them to work. >> reporter: but makes them no longer death row inmates. sentencing them to life if prison without the possibility of parole. it also requires every person convicted of murder to work in prison and pay restitution to the victim's families. representatives from both sides spoke on cbs 5 eyewitness this morning. >> i think when i read the cases of the people who are on death row it is stunning in the evil we are looking at. >> reporter: steve is the district attorney for san mateo county. he is antiprop 34. >> there needs to be, in our society, some difference between people who commit more evil murders than others. >> reporter: but, statistics show that the punishment meant for the worst of the worst is not carried out. while california has more than 700 inmates on death row, only
6:36 pm
13 have actually been put to death since capitol punishment was written in the constitution in 1972. >> that means the death penalty is a false promis for victims. 99% of the time we have lied to victims when we said we were going to carry out an execution. all we have done is drag them through decades of appeal. >> reporter: costly appeals. some say the state could save $130 million each year with prop 34. but, he says that the factors gumming up the system that puts a stop to all executions since 2006 can be overcome. >> i do believe that if there is the political will, if our leaders will step up and do the right thing and work with everybody on all sides and say let's -- here is what will be done to make this better, then, we can have a viable death penalty. >> our mission is to get to those 13% undecided and explain to them the facts. life without parole is a better choice for everyone.
